In this interview, we sit down with Steven MacMaster to discuss how Circa is making Life Cycle Assessment more accessible, what makes its approach to LCA software unique, and how the partnership with Carbon Minds creates added value for practitioners.

Could you give us a brief introduction to your company?

Circa provides tools and data for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) practitioners. Our platform is the only LCA software with usage-based pricing, allowing teams to model for free and pay only for the datasets they use. By removing pricing and collaboration barriers, we make it simpler for organizations to scale their LCA work.

How is your company contributing to the net-zero transition in the chemical value chain?

By making reliable LCA data more accessible, Circa enables organizations to integrate environmental assessments into everyday decision-making. This helps companies scale sustainability efforts and accelerate progress toward net zero.

We’re thrilled to provide Carbon Minds reliable life cycle data to practitioners with our novel approach to data licensing. This partnership promises to improve data accessibility and help expand the use of LCA across the chemical sector.

What makes your solution unique?

Circa is the only LCA platform with usage-based pricing, meaning teams no longer face upfront data licensing costs or seat limits. The platform also enables organizations to turn their LCA data into a revenue-generating asset by publishing their results as new datasets and earning each time those datasets are used.

What added value does the collaboration with Carbon Minds create for your customers?

By integrating Carbon Minds database directly into Circa, customers gain access to the most comprehensive and reliable datasets for the chemical industry without needing a separate subscription or workflow. Our users in the chemicals sector can work faster and get more value from their LCA data, all within a single platform and at a lower total cost.
